Plant
propagation is an art and science which can be learnt
with some experience and knowledge about the phsiological
and other activities of the plants. In order to become
a successful nursery grower for perennial plants like
fruit trees, avenue trees, landscaping trees and other
plants of economic importance, one has to raise plants
of paramount quality. Plants must have some desirable
characteristics like freedom from diseases, insects
and viruses, ready to establish on transplanting,
vigorous, healthy, regular bearers, high yielders,
adaptable to different agro-climatic conditions, tolerant
to natural vagaries etc. To achieve these goals, the
nursery grower must be fully conversant with the processes,
methods and techniques involved in nursery production,
protection and management.
The methods and processes involved in plant propagation
right from seed collection to their uprooting for
almost all the common crops have been described in
detail in this book. List of equipments and accessories
required has also been given. Efforts have been made
to incorporate the latest technical know-how in simple
manner so that a common nursery grower may understand
and follow the practices.
